SESSION DESCRIPTIONThis course is for anyone who would like to improve their singing or speaking voice and/or learn about the biomechanics and biophysiology of voice use to apply to voice training and voice therapy—singers, actors, vocal coaches, drama instructors, speech-language pathologists, public speakers, and other health professionals. Level One: Figures for Voice teaches the tools of the craft to add strength, clarity and stamina to your voice. Participants will use EVT’s innovative Figures for Voice to learn control of the vocal structures that influence voice quality. Each Figure employs exercises that will give you new vocal options for all styles of speaking and singing. Level Two combines the Figures from Level One to produce six voice qualities: Speech, Falsetto, Sob, Twang, Opera, and Belt. Figure Combinations for Six Voice Qualities offers a clear understanding of the voice’s limitless possibilities, along with how to keep it vibrant and healthy. Throughout the day, the new voice skills are practiced in small group sessions. There will also be ample time for questions, discussion, and work on individual repertoire or case studies.
